I was really over weight, 189lbs, and I am only 5'1". I decided enough was enough and started to try to get in shape. That was sept 2012. When I got to about 136lbs, I started doing weights. I am now at 126lbs and BF% is just below 22. The aim is to get it <20.

Cardio was fine for getting the fat off but, gees, it is boring! I love the weights, I set myself little challenges every week. I love the challenge, but do get frustrated if I can't do something.

Love Barbell work:
PBs -
Glute bridge - 75kgs
Deadlift - 95kgs

Today (29 Oct) I got a PB on the leg press, 95kgs. Next week I am going for 100!
My trainer is also trying to teach me technique for clean and press, we have been trying it with lighter weights. I hope to be able to post progress on that soon!
